Paediatric usage of Buccolam for pre-med/diagnostic use

Dear Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,

I write to you to request information to answer the below questions:

What number of Buccolam syringes were administered to paediatric patients for the purposes of sedation pre procedures over the last 12 months of data you hold (please provide details of what this date range is).

What number of Buccolam syringes were administered to paediatric patients for the purposes of treating epilepsy over the last 12 months of data you hold (please provide details of what this date range is).

If a specific purpose is not discernible please could I request the number of syringes administered to all paediatric patients. If the number of syringes is not possible but the number of paediatric patients that received Buccolam is, then again this information would also be gratefully received.

Yours faithfully,

Ed Fryer
